In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

One of the henchmen said, "What should we do?"

"Mop Bro, we've all gone far away, we..."

"None of us are afraid of death, but that pheasant neck is just too fierce..."

Hearing his two underlings' words, Mop glared at them and shouted, "Useless trash! You deserve to be looked down upon!"

Another henchman said, "Hey Mop Bro, do you think they might be making up an excuse to shake us off..."

"We did all the hard and tiring work, and so many of our brothers died. What if they get their share and then dump us here..."

Listening to his underling's words, Mop already had a plan in mind, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness. "Let's go, we can't let them take advantage of us!"

……

Down in the cave, Hei Xiazi complained to Xie Lianhuan, "Third Master, the group of people you found this time isn't very good!"

Jie Lianhuan sighed, "Hey, do you think everyone is as hardworking and reliable as Pan Zi? This time it's all about money; they only care about money, not people!"

"Then find something more expensive!"

Black Bear subconsciously said, "As for me... you get what you pay for, and I never let my customers down!"

"..."

Jie Lianhuan looked at Hei Xiazi speechlessly, then said self-deprecatingly, "Heh, when I was rich, I could pick and choose, but these past two years my family business has declined, and I can't find anyone reliable anymore!"

Wu Sansheng inherited a significant portion of the Wu family's antique business, including several small antique trading markets.

However, due to Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan's secret spending over the years, they had very little cash left.

It's not that Wu Sansheng doesn't understand how things work out; it's not just the Wu family, but basically the entire Nine Gates' legitimate antique business is experiencing a significant decline.

The Nine Gates are declining at a visible rate; this statement is not unfounded…

Hei Xiazi was speechless after hearing Xie Lianhuan's words. What could he say? The boss was pretending to be poor for him, which scared Hei Xiazi into shutting his mouth.

Xie Xiaohua laughed from the side, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and give Third Master a discount!"

Black Bear: "Although I'm expensive, I'm worth every penny. I'm relatively cost-effective, right, Third Master!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the black bear immediately started praising himself.

"Hahaha!"

Jie Lianhuan smiled and didn't take it to heart.

The group walked on, passing through a long rock tunnel.

However, when they saw what was ahead, the people who were scouting ahead immediately stopped.

Su Mo, Xie Lianhuan, and the others pushed through the crowd to get a look.

The rock tunnel in front disappeared, replaced by an oval-shaped structure resembling a white plastic greenhouse.

Jie Lianhuan exclaimed, "There's light!"

Su Mo recognized the creature at this moment and exclaimed in surprise, "What a huge snake!"

"Master Su, were these left by a snake?"

Black Bear looked at the white greenhouse in front of him and felt completely distraught.

Su Mo nodded. He had killed a giant python before, but that python was like a child in front of this snake sheath.

Su Mo and Xie Lianhuan and the others went inside.

With Su Mo's height as an adult, he could move freely inside.

Therefore, Su Mo judged that the snake's body was at least three meters tall and at least two meters wide.

This was the first time Su Mo, who had been exploring tombs for many years, had ever seen such a large snake.

Looking at the distinct markings on the snake's shed scales, Su Mo knew that this snake had probably become a jiao (a type of dragon), or even was about to transform into a dragon.

It seems that even grenades and rocket launchers wouldn't be able to break through the enemy's scales.

Su Mo and Xie Lianhuan led the way, walking forward for a distance.

Jie Lianhuan said, "We've reached the surface now, and we should be getting out of the well soon."

Wang Yueban asked, "No wonder it's soft. What is this? A plastic greenhouse?"

Wu Xie said speechlessly, "There are still snake scale marks on your plastic greenhouse? That's snake molting!"

snake?

Wang Yueban's eyes widened. "This is a snake? How could there be such a big snake?"

The blind man, wearing glasses, said, "Today, I, the blind man, will have my eyes opened!"

To be honest, Su Mo was also surprised, but considering that this was the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West, where even people were hiding in the Meteorite Jade Cave waiting for immortality, a giant python was nothing unusual.

After all, this is the primeval jungle at the bottom of the Devil City cliff.

For thousands of years, very few humans have set foot in this place.

"This... " Wang Yueban looked around and realized something. "This is a dead end?"

The path, seemingly made of snakeskin, came to an abrupt end at the edge of a dense forest.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, "It should be blocked by the branches and vines here. Let's clear away all this mess!"

"Yes!"

Chaos and the others dispersed to clean up.

Hei Xiazi, Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, Xie Lianhuan, and several of A Ning's men—they had quite a few people—and they all worked together very quickly.

Suddenly, a sound came from the forest.

Su Mo's pupils contracted, and he shouted, "Quick, quick, everyone get out..."

No one dared to be careless and quickly retreated behind Su Mo.

At that moment, a screech rang out.

Everyone present heard it clearly.

The next second, pheasant necks crawled out from the passageways in the surrounding walls.

"Snake...snake!"

Upon seeing the pheasant's neck, A Ning's men were startled.

Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi, this pair of strategists, instinctively hugged each other.

Others also approached Su Mo or Zhang Qiling.

The four fierce generals, seeing the necks of the pheasants ready to attack at any moment, quickly stepped out from the crowd before Su Mo could speak.

At the same instant, the murderous aura emanating from the four people burst forth.

"..."

At that moment, all the pheasants stopped in their tracks.

The four villains reacted perfectly, quickly drawing their pistols and shooting at the pheasant's neck in front of them.

The two were close together, and the pheasant's neck didn't move.

Fixed targets, headshots every time!

Pan Zi and Hei Xiazi were the first to snap out of their daze, pulling out their pistols and submachine guns and firing wildly.

"Roar!"

Immediately afterwards, a roar powerful enough to pierce eardrums rang out.

As everyone looked up, they saw a mottled giant python coiled up in front of a towering, withered tree, its thick body tightly enveloping the dilapidated tree.

Around the giant serpent lay corpses, all of which were its food.

"Roar!"

The giant serpent stared at the crowd, its gaze like that of a high and mighty god.

A chill ran down everyone's spine. The giant python's roar instilled fear in everyone, a fear that seeped into their very bones, making them instinctively want to flee.

Seeing the two tentacles on the giant python's head, Su Mo's heart sank. "This python is about to transform into a dragon!"

Everyone was shocked. "Master Su, you...you guys can handle this?"

Su Mo stared intently at the giant python. "You all retreat, I'll deal with it!"

Chapter 431: Dialogue with Chen Wenjin

Everyone was shocked. "Master Su, you...you guys can handle this?"

Su Mo stared intently at the giant python. "You all retreat, I'll deal with it!"

The crowd dared not be careless and dispersed in all directions.

However, as everyone retreated, pheasant necks followed closely behind, and the group fought their way out.

Before long, only Su Mo remained in the arena. The giant python's pupils narrowed, its gaze fixed on Su Mo, ignoring the departure of the others.

"..."

Su Mo was somewhat surprised, but after a quick calculation, he instantly understood.

"Hahaha…"

Su Mo laughed loudly, "You beast, you're not here to avenge your own kind, you just want to devour my Azure Dragon blood and transform into a dragon..."

At this moment, Su Mo felt extremely strange. It never expected that one day it would become "someone else's" opportunity.

Seeing that everyone had left, Su Mo's eyes were sharp as lightning. He drew the Crimson Sky Sword with a "whoosh" and launched the first attack using his light power.

"brute!"

With a loud shout, Su Mo appeared in front of the giant python and, without hesitation, swung his sword with all his might.

A flash of cold light, and the Crimson Sky Sword struck the giant python's head directly.

"Ding!"
